Her kid has autism, and she keeps posting "awareness" things like this, and it is deeply frustrating.
How old is her kid? And does she know any adults on the spectrum?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Judging by pictures, lower elementary age. I do not know about adults. I suspect not that she knows of. I've been on the verge of unfriending her for some deeply sketchy humor she's posted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I like that inhaler, whatever it was. I'm still having an "Oh, so THAT'S how lungs are supposed to work" moment.
Breathing should not be that revelatory. I mean, I've had that sensation but it's disheartening to realize that I'm usually failing at basic functions like respiration.
Puppies, OTOH, totally do not lie or play mind games. Maybe they got those mixed up.
Puppy dog eyes, IJS. The ones that tell you that they've never been fed, loved or nothing. Yeah lying liars that just want treats and snuggles and to lick your face.

Because books.
If it's her kid, that might be something she really wants to believe, though. Which doesn't make it correct, but it's a little trickier, I think.
Also, puppies totally lie when they've been into the garbage can. It's just the stray pieces of lettuce and paper that give them away.

The FB person does know that individuals with autism are a widely varied lot, yes?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Le n, I think you're probably giving her too much credit.

My dad just called. My mom is in the hospital again, with chest pains. It seems like they don't think it's anything major, but given her history, they're keeping her there for 24 hours, to be safe.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Just like actual, real people?
